As part of every standard inspection, I provide a complimentary air quality test to establish a baseline for particulates and gases. ​At this particular property, my detector registered an EXTREME level of particulates, hitting the "UNHEALTHY" threshold on the air quality index. ​This image shows the concerning data I found on-site: 📉 PM2.5: 74.0 ug/m³ 📉 PM10: 132.4 ug/m³
